[0050] Step 2: Use a mobile fire extinguishing device to extinguish the indoor fire source. The specific steps are:
[0051] The first step is to place the mobile fire extinguishing device in the house and enter the indoor space layout information into the computer to form a room map;
[0052] In the second step, the smoke sensor detects the smoke concentration value in the house in real time, the temperature sensor 8 detects the temperature value in the house in real time, and the infrared thermal imager 9 monitors the temperature change in the house in real time. The smoke sensor transmits the measured smoke concentration value in the house, the temperature sensor 8 detects the temperature value in the house, and the infrared thermal imager 9 transmits the real-time detected temperature value in the house to the computer respectively. If any one of the smoke concentration, temperature value and infrared thermal imager output value is greater than the set safety threshold, it is judged that there is a fire; the computer outputs a signal to the depth camera, and the depth camera 10 shoots the specific spatial position of the fire source to obtain the depth image of the fire source and analyzes the three-dimensional image of the fire source position. The computer transmits the three-dimensional spatial information to the computer; the computer plans the route of the mobile fire extinguishing device according to the three-dimensional spatial position information of the fire source location, and the camera 6 and the depth camera 10 take pictures of the structural layout at the fire point location during the movement of the mobile fire extinguishing device, and transmit the captured images back to the computer. The computer processes the image data (such as reading, displaying, converting, enhancing, analyzing and processing) and outputs it based on the image processing library (OpenCV, Pillow, NumPy) and scientific computing library in Python of the windows system to determine the structural characteristics and spatial conditions of the location of the fire source;
[0053] The specific process of the computer planning the route of the mobile fire extinguishing device can be as follows:
[0054] In step 201, the computer performs visualization point cloud processing on the fire source depth image data taken by the depth camera based on the Open3D processing library in Python on the Windows system to obtain three-dimensional point cloud data, and uses the three-dimensional point cloud data to locate the spatial coordinates of the fire source, map the fire source coordinates to the room map established in advance, and mark the current fire source position.
[0055] Step 202, combining the known room map and the current fire source location, using a path planning algorithm, taking the shortest path length and navigation time as optimization goals, calculating the optimal walking path that can avoid obstacles and dangerous areas in the house, generating a series of target points on the optimal walking path and outputting them to the mobile mechanism of the mobile fire extinguishing device;
[0056] In step 203, the computer issues the following instructions: the computer transmits the target point on the optimal walking path to the controller of the walking drive mechanism of the mobile fire extinguishing device, and wirelessly controls the mobile fire extinguishing device to go to the fire source. During the driving process, the computer outputs instructions to the motor of the fan in the smoke exhaust mechanism 2 to start the fan to blow away the smoke in the travel route, so as to prevent the mobile fire extinguishing device from affecting the normal operation of the control system and circuits due to the interference of smoke; at the same time, preferably, the computer outputs instructions to the signal light, and the signal light 3 lights up in red to remind the staff that there is a fire; when encountering an obstacle, the guide wheel 1 performs passive steering and stops moving after reaching the fire point.
[0057] The third step is that after the mobile fire extinguishing device reaches the end point of the planned path, the computer outputs a control signal to the mobile fire extinguishing device to stop moving, and outputs instructions according to the structural characteristics and spatial conditions of the location of the fire source (used to decide whether to start the suction cup or the mechanical claw in the mechanical arm or the combination of the two. For example, if the fire source is inside the cabinet and the cabinet door can be opened, the suction cup is used to directly suck the cabinet door open. If the fire source is in the drawer and the drawer has a handle, the mechanical claw is used to hold the handle and pull it open). If the fire point is in a relatively closed space such as a cabinet or a drawer, the suction cup is started and moved to the designated position to work. Otherwise, the manipulator is started and moved to the designated position to work, or the manipulator and the suction cup are started alternately and moved to the designated position to work on a complex structure target. At the same time, the computer starts the water pump connected to the sprinkler 7 and adjusts the sprinkler position by outputting a position adjustment instruction so that the sprinkler 7 sprays water facing the fire source, and the fire source is accurately extinguished.
[0058] The process of moving the suction cup or the manipulator to the specified position can be specifically as follows:
[0059] The computer outputs a start command to the controller of the rotating drive mechanism connected to the turntable, driving the turntable to rotate, thereby driving the adjustable mechanical arm A and the water tank to rotate a certain angle. The first rotating motor 22 drives the control box to rotate a certain angle according to the command output by the computer, gradually eliminates the angle and height errors, and adjusts the height of the adjustable mechanical arm until the mechanical arm A and the structure where the fire source is located (cabinet, drawer, etc., the cabinet door to be opened, handles, etc.) are aligned. The second rotating motor rotates to drive the mechanical claw 15 to rotate, and the control system of the mechanical claw receives the command output by the computer to grab the structure where the fire source is located; or the first rotating motor 22 drives the control box to rotate a certain angle according to the command output by the computer. The control box is driven to rotate a certain angle, the servo motor 18 rotates a certain angle according to the command output by the computer, and the controller of the forward and backward moving mechanism connected to the suction cup moves forward and backward according to the command output by the computer. The suction cup 13 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the second rotating motor, and then the position of the suction cup's mouth is adjusted to adsorb on the structure where the ignition point is located (the cabinet door or drawer is stretched), and the structure where the ignition point is located (cabinet or drawer) is opened; if the computer determines the action of the manipulator in this process, the rotating motor 18 rotates a certain angle according to the command output by the computer and is converted into the manipulator grabbing the structure where the ignition point is located (stretching the handle of the cabinet or drawer).
[0060] The position adjustment process of the nozzle is as follows:
[0061] The depth camera obtains the 3D position of the fire source (for example, through a point cloud) and outputs it to the computer. The computer calculates the distance, height and angle error between the mobile fire extinguishing device and the structure where the fire source is located (cabinet or drawer, etc.) based on the three-dimensional point cloud coordinate system conversion of the fire source. Then the computer outputs a control signal to the controller of the rotation drive mechanism of the turntable to control the turntable to rotate a certain angle, and the controller of the up and down motion drive mechanism connected to the nozzle starts the up and down motion drive mechanism according to the control signal output by the computer to drive the nozzle 7 to adjust the up and down position so that the nozzle 7 sprays water facing the fire source.
[0062] In the fourth step, the computer makes a judgment based on the real-time signals output by the smoke sensor, temperature sensor 8 and infrared thermal imager 9. If the smoke concentration, temperature value and the data output by the infrared thermal imager are all within the set safety threshold, it means that the fire is extinguished. The computer transmits a signal to the control system of the signal light, making the signal light light blue, prompting the staff to lift the alarm, and the mobile fire extinguishing device returns along the original route, the water tank is filled with water and the battery is charged, and fire early warning monitoring continues.
[0063] The embodiments of the present invention are intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the invention.

If any one of the smoke concentration, temperature value and infrared thermal imager output value is greater than the set safety threshold, it is determined that there is a fire; the computer outputs a signal to the depth camera, the depth camera shoots the specific spatial position of the fire source to obtain the depth image of the fire source and transmits the analyzed three-dimensional spatial information of the fire source position to the computer; the computer plans the route of the mobile fire extinguishing device according to the three-dimensional spatial position information of the fire source position, and the camera and the depth camera shoot the structural layout at the fire point position during the movement of the mobile fire extinguishing device, and transmits the captured image back to the computer. The computer processes and outputs the image data based on the image processing library and scientific computing library in Python of the windows system to determine the structural characteristics and spatial conditions of the location of the fire source; In the third step, after the mobile fire extinguishing device reaches the end of the planned path, the computer outputs a control signal to the mobile fire extinguishing device to stop moving, and outputs instructions according to the structural characteristics and spatial conditions of the location of the fire source; if the fire point is in a relatively closed space such as a cabinet or drawer, the suction cup is started and moved to the designated position to work, otherwise, the manipulator is started and moved to the designated position to work, or the manipulator and the suction cup are started alternately and moved to the designated position to work on the complex structure target, and at the same time, the computer starts the water pump connected to the sprinkler and adjusts the sprinkler position by outputting position adjustment instructions so that the sprinkler sprays water facing the fire source to extinguish the fire source; In the fourth step, the computer makes a judgment based on the real-time signals output by the smoke sensor, temperature sensor and infrared thermal imager. If the smoke concentration, temperature value and the data output by the infrared thermal imager are all within the set safety threshold, it means that the fire is extinguished, the mobile fire extinguishing device returns along the original route, the water tank is filled with water and the battery is charged, and fire early warning monitoring continues.
